l-o-v-e | a quilt for Baby Figuereo

Emily and Steve are our dear friends and when they told us Emily was expecting I knew I had to make a really special quilt. I wasn't sure what I wanted to make for a while but one day when I was texting with Emily and I realized what the perfect quilt would be - the kinfolk baby love quilt by Wren Collective. I had bought the pattern a year or two ago because I loved it but hadn't made it yet. I knew Emily likes neutrals and after pulling lots of creams and tans from my stash I decided to add some green because she's a nature girl and I knew green would give the quilt an outdoorsy feel. I fussy cut a cute mouse family to include and did some stellar pattern matching on a little frog swimming hole party which I'm extremely proud of. I lined it up perfectly on the first try which has never happened before and will likely never happen again! I had so much fun choosing fabric combinations for this quilt and it came together really quickly which was a nice bonus. I finished it off with some smiling moons, jumping frogs, and a simple plaid on the back, and the binding is a scrappy mix of fabrics from the front. If I know Emily then Miles is probably already spending lots of time outside, lying on his back staring up at the clouds so he can wonder and dream, and I hope he's lying on this quilt. 

P.S. Here's the quilt I made for Emily and Steve when they were first married.
